Method

Preparation of Eggs

  1. 1

    Hard Boil the Eggs

    Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring water to a boil, then cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cool the Eggs

    After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5-10 minutes. This helps to stop the cooking process and makes peeling easier.

  3. 3

    Peel the Eggs

    Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface and peel them under running water for easier removal of the shell.

  4. 4

    Slice the Eggs

    Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a mixing bowl.

Making the Filling

  1. 5

    Mash the Yolks

    Using a fork, mash the egg yolks until they are crumbled and fine.

  2. 6

    Add the Remaining Ingredients

    To the mashed yolks, add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chopped chives. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.

  3. 7

    Fill the Egg Whites

    Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the hollowed egg whites with the yolk mixture, ensuring they are well topped.

Garnishing

  1. 8

    Garnish the Eggs

    Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for color and garnish with additional chopped chives.
